Bob Dobson

Don't know if this is the right place - perhaps the Mods can relocate it if it isn't.

Bob Dobson has had his system hi-jacked and emails are going out purporting to come from Bob, with various requests for money - These are scams, delete.

I have just spoken with Bob's wife and she has requested that I put a post on here.

Re: Bob Dobson

I got one too.

I couldn't think of a good reason why I would want to repatriate him from the Phillippines

Re: Bob Dobson

I've got one but I sent him the money before I realised it was a scam!

If you look it's not his email address either. Reading it who would be stupid enough to be taken in? I suppose some must be or these rogues wouldn't keep doing it.

Re: Bob Dobson

Thing is if owt like that happens,as it did to me oer 40yrs ago, its just a matter of going to the embassy/consulate, they will sort yeh out,providing yer n householder in U.K. suppose thats fer collateral. I actually responded wi that info hours ago, as Bob never replied, it confirmed what i already thought.

Re: Bob Dobson

I've had one too, returned to sender. Can't somehow see Bob suddenly taking off for the Philippines somehow.

I do wonder who gets taken in by these messages.

Re: Bob Dobson

Just a thought, by opening the email we haven't let the hacker into our systems, have we?

If you get one off me it's genuine,honest, send the money straight away, now that Less and Eric have let me down times are bad!
